Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1–2 jalapeños, diced (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeños into small, even pieces to ensure a balanced texture and flavor in the salsa.
  2. Chop the cilantro: Finely chop the fresh cilantro to release its aromatic oils and add vibrant green flecks to the dish.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and chopped cilantro to a mixing bowl.
  4. Add lime juice and seasoning: Pour freshly squeezed lime juice over the bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for a crisp, fresh taste or cover and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld together for a deeper, richer flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use ripe, firm tomatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Letting the pico de gallo rest in the fridge overnight enhances the flavor fusion.
  • This salsa is best served fresh as it can lose its crispness over time.
  • Great as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, and salads.
